ARE YOU A WOMAN’S CLUB MEMBER

Hello from Blacksburg, Virginia!!! I am coming to you live from the home of the Virginia Tech Hokies this Saturday morning. I arrived earlier on Friday, along with the BFF’s, Sandy and Bertha, and we are all in attendance for a GFWC Virginia Woman’s Club Conference.

It is 10:30 p.m. on Friday night as I write this post, and there will not a “fashion” post for today. Did I hear some groaning from you gurls? You are the one’s that told me I could take some time off. Haha

Instead I am going to talk to you for just a minute about the woman’s club. I know some of you are retired, and joining your local woman’s club is something you need to check into. I joined the GFWC Grundy Woman’s Club over 15 years ago. One of the reasons I joined was because we had moved to a town my husband was from, but I knew very few people. I had seen articles in the local paper, showing some of the ladies in the local woman’s club, and highlighting their activities. I told my husband that looked like something I would like to do, so I called and inquired when their next meeting would be.

Joining the woman’s club is one of the best things I have ever done. Not only do you meet ladies from your community that you might have not known, but you touch so many people throughout your community. If you are a teacher, or a retired teacher, you need to be part of the woman’s club. We support all sorts of Educational programs and advancements in that area. If your town has a library, chances are a woman’s club was instrumental in its starting or development.

My own local club takes on many special projects such as Child Abuse Awareness, Domestic Violence, Breast Cancer Awareness, Autism Awareness, Abuse Shelters, Nursing Homes, and Remote Area Medical. We are just a small club, but we make a big difference in our communities.

Are you political? Woman’s clubs have areas that deal with Legislation and Public Relations as well as Public Issues. Our past GFWC president met with many government officials, including Vice-President Biden, concerning women’s issues.

Are you a lawyer, teacher, a board member, a government official, or have a job of any kind that would consider you a leader? If so, then you NEED to be a member of a woman’s club. Some notable GFWC clubwomen include Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady of the United States of America, social reformer, columnist, teacher, and political activist; Jane Addams, founder of Hull House; Julia Ward Howe, author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic;” Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to ever be elected to both Houses of Congress, and the first woman to campaign for the presidential nomination of a major political party; and Nellie Tayloe Ross, the first female governor and the first woman to be appointed Director of the United States Mint.

Did you know that woman’s club member is why we have stripes down the center of the road? Did you know that GFWC’s Women’s Crusade for Seat Belts program resulted in the installation of more than one million seat belts over the course of one year.

There are hundreds of reasons why you need to be a woman’s club member, but I am just going to give you a couple more.Their futures! I hope to make the world a better place for my granddaughters, one community at a time. If you think that joining a woman’s club is something you might be interested in, email me and I will get you in contact with someone from your state. If you are already a woman’s club member, then give your club a shout out!
